Askmewhats Reviews: MAC Lipliner in Ginger

I don't know about you guys, but I am a fast-paced individual who loves to go for the short-cut! It isn't even an exception with make-up! I love 2-in1's. I love to use lesser products as much as possible.

I did say: "Shame on you guys for creating lip liners. Totally waste of time and money!"and now....I'm eating my words, because...

I own this...

Here's how MAC Lip Liner in Ginger looks like when swatched

You know why I started with a "hate" relationship with lip liners?

Because ---

my lips (again) are super dry and putting on lipliner will just make it drier!

But you know why I should "love" a lip liner?

Because ---

I have a li'l bit of discoloration on the sides of my lips

I've got full lips but it's not defined

Don't get me wrong, I didn't purchase my first lip liner. This was a gift from my Aunt I am glad I am "Nikki the curious ever clown!". I'm glad I gave MAC Lip liner in Ginger chance because I love this!!!

I still have a lot of "non-lip liner" days...but on good days that I felt like prettifying myself? I grab on this and I'm loving this! I love the Ginger color on me as it looks so natural on my lips! During those lazy days, I would just use lip balm and just go through the lip liner all over my lips!!

Thanks for swatching and a very convincing review. I used to use Rimmel in Addiction to tone down the pigmentation in my lips and make the lipstick last much longer. But I hate the drier feeling it gives me. Anyway, I love lipsticks.. and weird but I enjoy re-applying it.

i dont really fancy using lip liner cos to me it seems a bit 80s, but you're right, sometimes it is necessary to use them to define the lipline... especially for photos ya? v. important to blend properly...

Oh no, sis! How did you survive without lip liner all these time? ;) I could never wear lipstick or lipgloss without lipliner. Not even when I'm in a hurry. Everytime I buy lipstick an lipgloss, I always make sure that I've got a lipliner to match. It's never a waste of money as far as I'm concerned ;)... It's one of the God's gift to women ha ha ha!

i don't use lipliners too although i know i should to prevent my lipstick from bleeding but i just can't justify myself from buying even just one! i just try to control my lipstick application so when i set the color it won't bleed or i just wipe off the excess lol.

JieJie, you can always try testers before you buy it :) In this way, you won't be wasting money on something useless! I am like that! I test it on me many times before I get convinced lol

Paint me gorgeous, so true! a well defined lips are great on photos! but yeah, I'm one of those lazy ones who skipped on lipliners at times...

Gracie, that's something I learned about you! You never wear lippies without lipliners! You really deserve to be Ms. Samantha *winks* good way ok? don't take it wrongly lol you know how much i love you to tease you

Prettybeautiful, you don't get tired of my lip photos? I get tired looking at my own lips, but I'll do it as soon as I have the chance :D

Mhean, I expected it really that a lot of people don't wear lipliners. But lipliners could be "unsong heroes" as i'm sure it works so well for models and actresses

Sab, i believe they're approx Php1,000. Not sure coz this is a gift to me too! I wouldn't buy lipliners on my own ! lol

sis nikki, i badly need lipliners.. i have not so nice lips because of discoloration on the sides.. thank you so much for the review, next time i hit MAC, will definitely give it a try.. LIP LINER LIP LINER LIP LINER

I don't use lipliner because I prefer eye makeup with a more natural mouth, so I usually wear clear or light pink color on my lips. Plus I drink a lot of water during the day, and taking a lot of time on my lips, knowing it will end up lip marks on my water bottle, seems like a waste!

i actually love clinique! i've used it in one of my featured blog entries. :) i love love love that it's super soft. and i love the color! i adore mac as well. i was able to try them when i had my training there, but i haven't gotten an opportunity to buy one yet. :) soon, i hope!

I buy maybe one or two generic colored lipliners (e.g. rosy pink) for most of my lipstick, but otherwise I won't really spend money on them. I find pencils are drying on me as well, but crayons are a little better. I usually don't wear lipliner either, because I know that my lip products will eventually get rubbed off anyway!
